Blake Coburn

Blake Peter Coburn (born 25 December 1995) is a New Zealand cricketer. He played for Canterbury from 2017–18 to 2022–23.

Coburn was born in Christchurch and educated there at Shirley Boys' High School. A left-arm wrist-spin bowler, he has an unusual bowling action: his torso rotates downward and his head gets below the horizontal when releasing the ball.

Coburn made his first-class debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Plunket Shield season on 23 October 2017. In November 2017, in his second match, he took 7 for 64 in the second innings to lead Canterbury to victory over Northern Districts by 8 runs. He made his Twenty20 debut for Canterbury in the 2017–18 Super Smash on 17 December 2017.

He made his List A debut for Canterbury in the 2018–19 Ford Trophy on 7 November 2018. After some time out of the Canterbury team, he was awarded a contract for the 2022–23 season.

Coburn announced his retirement from professional cricket in June 2023, aged 27.
